failed attempts to distraction.

January 21, 2008 at 2:29 am (Uncategorized)

I found myself staring off at church today. I was thinking about my character Thomas. Ways on how to make his life seem fuller. I actually found inspiration while I was wrapped up like a burrito wearing my two tops, a thin sweater, and a thick jacket, in church. My brother was dozing off next to me, when I saw my mom give him a nudge on his shoulder. Well, she actually rested her head on his shoulder. He woke up.

                The priest was saying something about the importance of life. He gave examples on different answers that people would give if someone were to ask them, why is your life important. He said people would probably say because: I drive a nice car; I am beautiful; I am a father; I am smart… etc. Then he said no. Life is important because of what Jesus did for us. Well, glad I paid attention to that one!

                My mom suggested that I join the choir since they’re looking for members. I fucking miss singing in a choir. I thought about it for a second, but then my brother gave me the “are you stupid” eye and asked me, “Are you serious?” I had to snap out of it. Church here is not the same. Its filled with love, YES. But, it’s definitely not as warm.

                Maybe someday I could conduct a kid’s choir. Maybe have an hour of mass every Sunday that’s meant for little children. Maybe we could go for ice cream after (not recommended!) Maybe not in this church… Maybe not in America. Maybe…

I’ve endured several attempts to distract myself today. I even put a dent on the system of ARTS with my ma as we hopped from “The bucket list” to “27 dresses”

Twenty- seven! WHAT THE FUCK!?

This blog is my last one. I’m going to have to force myself to catch some shut eye… eventually.

Animal Planet’s “Wild Kingdom” is on.

I miss my soul mate.

During mass we prayed that the many powers of the many countries come to turn their heads towards the important things in life such as PRESERVING our home, bringing troops home, and terrorism…

… Lord hear our prayers.
